Salman Khan seen at Kalina Airport with heavy security following the shooting incident involving Tiger Shroff's car in Juhu.
Bollywood superstar Salman Khan was seen at Mumbai’s Kalina Airport on Tuesday, surrounded by a significant security detail. The actor's appearance comes at a time of heightened vigilance across the city following a shocking firing incident involving another Bollywood star, Tiger Shroff.
Tight Security at the Terminal
Salman Khan arrived at the airport with his usual convoy, but observers noted a visible increase in security personnel escorting him toward the terminal. Videos that have since gone viral online show the actor dressed in a casual outfit, briefly pausing to acknowledge fans and the paparazzi before heading inside.
This surge in security isn't limited to his travels. Police presence has been heavily ramped up outside his residence, Galaxy Apartments in the Bandra area, with officers seen deployed in bulletproof jackets and multiple police vehicles stationed nearby.
The Trigger: The Tiger Shroff Shooting
The sudden increase in security for high-profile celebrities follows a violent episode on Sunday evening. According to the Mumbai Police, a firing incident occurred around 7 pm in Juhu as actor Tiger Shroff was leaving a football club.
The attackers allegedly opened fire at Shroff's vehicle. While the actor managed to avoid direct gunshot wounds, his driver was injured in the attack. Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, who visited Tiger’s residence that night, revealed that the actor suffered injuries to his left hand caused by gunpowder and glass fragments.
"Strict action will be taken, and threats against public figures will not be tolerated," stated Eknath Shinde, adding that both Tiger and his mother, Ayesha Shroff, were deeply shaken by the event.
Investigation and Arrests
The Mumbai Police have made significant headway in the investigation. Deputy Commissioner of Police Mohit Garg confirmed that the vehicle was targeted specifically as it exited the club premises.
In a major breakthrough, three suspects were arrested in Kota, Rajasthan. A local court has granted the police a 48-hour transit remand, enabling the Maharashtra Police to bring the accused to Mumbai. The suspects are expected to undergo rigorous interrogation to uncover the motive behind the attack and determine if there were larger conspiracies involved.
